3.0.2 does include the feature:
Dec 24, 2011: libarchive 3.0.2 released
Dec 23, 2011: Various fixes merged from FreeBSD
Dec 23, 2011: Symlink support in Zip reader and writer
Dec 23, 2011: Robustness fixes to 7Zip reader

Nov 27, 2011: libarchive 3.0.1b released

Let's wait for you to finish your experiment with 3.0.0-r3950
then may be the first application of your work may be the integration
of 3.0.2 (or better depending on the work in-between).
